"Q: There has always been some negative public opinion regarding the choice of Xiah Junsu to star at the beginning. As a colleague that is performing with him, how do you see it?
A: This is really a prejudice. Those that do not see with their own eyes will not know. Although it might be this friend's first time acting in a musical, but to become as singer, he went through unimaginable work and practice, and all this can be felt on the stage. Even if his voice projection and ability to convey the lyrics is a little different, his appeal, using his ability to use his voice to show his feelings is really awesome. Having this experience of performing in front of ten thousands, his ability to echo the audience; wants is also strong. Those that personally watched his performance have exclaimed in shock over his perfect interpretation." (Seo Beom Suk in Loun.G)
